I know what you mean, it is a lot! Of course I will be waiting to see what the rest of the box holds, if I wouldn't use all the products I won't purchase I will be interested however, to see if there is any Sunday Riley as I would love to try the range.

My weak spot would be Sunday Riley as well. The Luna Sleeping Oil is being raved about over on YouTube and I've always been curious about the Good Genes serum but I still think it's too much for me to spend. Maybe I had just better not look! :rotfl: I'm sure it will sell out incredibly quickly so I will wish you good luck with getting an order in if it has the sort of products you'd like to use

1 UU to report Bourjois 10 hour sleep foundation, this is a massive HG for me and I have another one ready to use! I am loving the clinique serum...may have to hunt out some more mags!

Other than some beauty UU's...

I actually went through some of my clothes and allocated a few to go to charity and to sell. I realised how much I hold onto things that don't fit or I just don't like anymore just because I spent money on it. It made me see just how careless I have been with my money. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and tell past me to not buy those things haha.

UU's:
Had an amazing bath last night
Lush avobath
Lush green bubbleroon

We've all done that with clothes and other things. Moving forward we have to try to be more selective and learn from our mistakes - yeah right:rotfl:.

Anyone else thinking of ordering the Caroline Hirons beauty box? £140 for 6 full size products and 2 sample sizes. This will be a saving for over £100!! So far she has revealed it will contain Oskia micro exfoliating balm full size and MV organics 9 oil skin tonic, also full size.

I think I will treat myself to this, depending on what else will be in the box as I know it will be amazing value and I love CH

Must now be good the rest of the month

That's a lot of money imo. I ask myself would I be prepared to repurchase any of these items if I really loved them and the answer is probably no due to the price so I won't be buying it.

I'm glad you're trying it as well I really like it so far. I'm just using it at night under my normal moisturiser. If I get on with it really well then I might buy a couple more. I'm trying to hold off for now! :rotfl:


My latest UUs

Katy Perry Killer Queen sample - WNB as it's not unusual enough. (I was impressed with the lasting power though.)

L'Occitane Shea Dry Hand Cream (10ml) - WNBA. I'm not overly keen on the scent of this but it's very effective.

La Sultane de Saba Argan Body Lotion (30ml) - I loved the scent of this and it moisturised really well but WNBA as it's pretty expensive. (There are things I prefer that are cheaper.)

Decleor Experience de L'Age Rich Cream (15ml) - WNBA but would happily use again if it came in a set. It lasted for a long time and the scent was wonderful.


I will have INs to declare but I think I'm going to ask for them to be put away as a birthday present for next month. It's a Rituals set that is valued at £78 but is £18.98 inc P&P. I've had the body/linen spray before in this scent and loved it.

Lotus Secret fragrance sticks (50ml)
Yin calming bed & body mist (50ml)
Silence fine liquid hand wash (300mg)
Silence 3 in 1 miracle hand scrub (200ml)
T’ai Chi foaming shower gel sensation (200ml)
Mei Dao rich and nourishing body cream (200ml)

This makes me even more pleased that the Caroline Hirons box is out of the question! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I ordered the Rituals set last week. I have had numerous boxes from this company and they have all been fab.

Re. overnight masks - I don't think I have ever used one but I too hear good things about the Origins one.

I have some uu's

Soap and Glory Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath - love this, super bubbly and smells lovely, WBA.

Lancome Genefique Eye Serum Light Pearl 5ml - have used two of these consecutively and don't see anything exciting happening.

Weleda Baby Tummy Oil - this was for baby massage but I used it as a body moisturiser - it was Sweet Almond Oil with some essential oils and smelt lovely.

Hi all, I have been sick with a cold for days and just recovering! Have couple of UUs and INs but will post them later on.

PS: I do have Origin Drink Up mask and it is really good

Hope you're feeling better asajj!!

I UU my benefit eye cream this morning, won't be purchasing again as it's not Vegan. So am on the hunt for a replacement!
Also I have the triple perfmorning moisturiser as a sample. Same as the above.

Get well soon asajj!

Really struggling with UUs this month but I have a feeling everything is going to finish all at the same time!

I do have a few INs though - all justified! :P

These were all paid with Boots points and things I had wanted for a while:

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo 300ml
Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner 250ml
Aussie Miracle Recharge Shine Lightweight Conditioning Spray 250ml

And these were in the current L'occitaine freebie set - I couldn't resist as it's a very generous freebie and I can't really afford L'occitaine products normally:

L'occitaine Verbena Leaf Soap 25g
L'occitaine Verbena Shower Gel 30ml
L'occitaine Verbena Body Lotion 30ml
L'occitaine Pivoile Flora Hand Cream 10ml
L'occitaine Shea butter Foot Cream 10m

I'm now sitting here like a lunatic sniffing the tissue paper from the shop as they sprayed it with something that smells AMAZING but I can't work out what it is!

I think the Clinique serum is helping the fine lines on my forehead. I also think my skin tone is more even but I need to use it a bit longer before I'm sure. Apparently it's meant to adapt to whatever your skin needs most - I've no idea how that's possible! :rotfl:

It is the hand cream that smells of babies and holidays! :rotfl: Sometimes I really like it and other times I find it overpowering. However, it's so effective and luxurious that I can imagine buying a fullsize as a celebration once I've finished all of my hand creams but that could be years away :eek:

It sounds like the Fat Girl Slim might have been a bit old. I had a Bliss face cream that I used up but it had gone really watery (it wasn't off but the texture had definitely changed). I have a newish sample of Fat Girl Slim so I will take a look at that and report back

Do you live near an Origins counter? I had an email saying you could choose three samples that they would fill in-store for you. People rave about the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. I didn't find it made much difference and have been using up an old GWP tube as a neck moisturiser (at least it smells lovely) but many people seem to love it. My skin isn't very dry so maybe that's why I couldn't see a difference when I used it?

Sorry about the super-long answer! :rotfl:

Loving the long answer Willowbee...thankyou!

I think you're right about the fat girl slim, i'm not a big fan of Bliss products anyway, think they're a bit overpriced for what they are.
I've got a few Origins counters near me, I don't get the e-mails for Origins and can't find the freebie offers on general internet. I do like the sound of the drink-up mask though, sounds right up my street! I'm popping into town tomorrow so i'll go and have a gander.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
